On Friday, Nov. 7th the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Sa-Roc to the WOW Hall.
Sa-Roc is one of the most commanding voices in contemporary hip-hop, known for her razor-sharp lyricism, fiery delivery, and socially conscious message. Born in Southeast Washington, D.C., during the height of the crack era, she grew up surrounded by poverty and systemic injustice — experiences that deeply shaped her worldview and artistry. After leaving Howard University, she relocated to Atlanta, where she met DJ and producer Sol Messiah. Their collaboration led to her debut EP Astral Chronicles (2008) and a prolific run of projects including Journey of the Starseed and Nebuchadnezzar.
Sa-Roc has shared stages with legends such as The Roots, Common, Jay Electronica, Rakim, and Talib Kweli, earning recognition from Black Thought, who called her to perform with him at A3C. In 2016, she signed with Rhymesayers Entertainment, releasing a string of acclaimed singles and videos, including the viral anthem “Forever.” Her debut Rhymesayers album, The Sharecropper’s Daughter, is a powerful reflection on generational trauma and triumph.
Beyond music, Sa-Roc is a wellness advocate, international performer, and ambassador for Hip Hop is Green, continuing to use her art to inspire empowerment, healing, and social change worldwide.
